Social Media Reacts To Joe Biden Naming Kamala Harris Vice President Pick
On Tuesday afternoon social media went stir crazy as presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden, 77, announced his vice president pick as Democratic California Senator Kamala Harris, 55.
As Harris, who dropped out of the presidential race in December 2019, makes history as the first Black woman (Jamaican father) and the first South Asian-American (Indian mother) person on a major party’s presidential ticket, some users were shocked in a celebratory way, and others…not so much.

A quick browse on social media will show that many people are ecstatic to potentially see a woman in the White House, other than the FLOTUS. This simply opens the floodgates for additional women in executive positions in the government, etc. Meanwhile, other accounts point out her “toughness on black people,” specifically when it comes to mass incarceration. Some pointed out how she used technicalities to keep wrongfully convicted people behind bars instead of giving them new trials when she served as Attorney General. #Socialites, what are your thoughts on Sen. Harris as veep?

I'm thrilled to welcome @KamalaHarris to a historic Democratic ticket. She's already proven herself to be an incredible public servant and leader. And I know she’ll be a strong partner to @JoeBiden. Please join me in having her back and getting her elected. pic.twitter.com/cmtOO8Gqqv

Kamala Harris as VP pick is a big win for imperial feminism.
Next I wanna see more WOC ICE agents, prison guards, slum lords and drug queenpins. Girl power ✊🏼

Kamala Harris is not nasty. She is tough. She made AG Barr regret the McDonalds milkshake he drank. She sent quivers up Brett Kavanaugh's beer can tower. She sends Trump running to his bunker. Well to be honest, a car backfiring in DC could do that last thing.

Here’s what I do know. Whether you like Kamala or not. The current administration is going to unleash a disgusting and disrespectful attack on her mainly bc she is a black woman. We have to protect her and uplift her as much as possible throughout this campaign.

If you oppose Kamala Harris as VP because she wasn't tougher on police misconduct early in her career, you must grapple with this: As a Black woman, had she been tougher on the police she never would have had a national political career in the first place https://t.co/FECQS1E3wt

Biden Chooses 2nd Amendment-Hating @KamalaHarris as his VP
Harris's presidential campaign died soon after announcing extreme gun control agendas. Her plan was to ignore democratic processes & enact gun control by executive order.
Biden & Harris will dismantle the 2nd Amendment.

Can you imagine the late night chats between Kamala and Biden bragging about who's incarcerated more minorities?

Joe Biden picked Kamala Harris as his VP pick,
the woman who spent her career locking up black men, while giving sanctuary cities to illegal immigrants.
I guess it’s fitting, since Joe Biden helped write the 1994 crime bill that separated black fathers from their families.

So let me get this straight
In an era of Black Lives Matters and Defund the Police, Joe Biden proposed increasing police budgets and now he has announced a cop, Kamala as VP
The Democratic Party is laughing at black people right now

Joe Biden picked Kamala Harris not because she’s a good pick, but solely because she’s a black woman.
The state of the Democrat party is an absolute joke.
Who else Agrees? 😂🤚🏾
